When strolling or biking down a busy canal path, British citizens
might now find that they have to yield to the local duck
population.

River and Canal Trust kickstarted the ‘Share the Space, Drop your
Pace’ campaign with the chief aim of stressing a lack of space on
the UK’s towpaths.

The duck lanes are only temporary, but they encourage people to
remain considerate of everyone who uses the canal paths,
including the wildlife.

“We painted duck lanes on the towpaths just to highlight the
space. Just to highlight the fact that there is only so much
space that you can share. There is only so much you can do and
actually probably ducks need it,” River and Canal Trust
spokesperson told RT’s Ruptly agency.

The Canal & River Trust is a charity that has been entrusted
with the care of some 2,000 miles of waterways in England and
Wales.
